    Proxmox VE 4.3 released!

    Sorry - please look again. https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1137 Resolved, WONTFIX. That's a closed bug if I am not mistaken. I posted a reply to Wolfgang and got zero response (as I expected) Yup - I'll subscribe. I like bashing my head against a brick wall :-) In the meantime...

    Proxmox VE 4.3 released!

    Tom, I'm sorry if you feel offended by me making a criticism. Such is the nature of development (I work on Koozali SME server so can speak from some experience). It appears from comments I am not alone. Creating a bug that instantly gets marked Wontfix doesn't help, and why I was sceptical of...

    Proxmox VE 4.3 released!

    https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1137 Closed WONTFIX - you wonder why you bother. The curious part is that the manager uses extjs which is a THEME MANAGER...... just that Prox don't want to allow you to swap themes for some unknown reason - certainly I haven't heard a sensible...

    Proxmox VE 4.3 released!

    Sorry to be so critical. It is not a 'personal' attack on you - merely an objective comment on the UI. I know as a designer it hurts when someone criticises all your hard work, but that's part of the job spec :) You cannot expect to be right every time. Yes it IS subjective - VERY. I never...

    Proxmox VE 4.3 released!

    Here's a suggestion. Please get shot of the awful second vertical list. It is a complete and utter eyesore, and nothing is where you expect it. Put the menu back horizontally where it is expected. Fill in the big white blank space to the right of 'Summary' where it used to go. Previous layout...

    Proxmox 4 drive layout

    I just test installed Proxmox v4.2 and the partition/drive layout is not really what I wanted. I have a pair of drives in RAID 1 that I wanted the basic OS to go on with another 6 in RAID 6 which I wanted to put the VMs and ISO etc on (I have no 'speed' requirements and this layout will be...

    Revert cluster to single node/machine

    Thanks for the reply. As above, there was no quorum by default when you boot. Yes, I could do it temporarily with pvecm e 1 but on next reboot it is lost and back to square one. I needed a permanent solution, at least for the moment, as the machine will be unattended for the next week and I...

    Revert cluster to single node/machine

    Beginning to think that there is a bug somewhere in pmxcfs or the pvecm del command ? Pushing a bit harder and trying things I ended up with this : root@proxmox:~# pvecm nodes Node Sts Inc Joined Name 1 M 88 2013-10-23 01:59:12 proxmox 2 X 0...

    Revert cluster to single node/machine

    Not sure if it has worked or not. I did the following : root@proxmox:/# pvecm nodes Node Sts Inc Joined Name 1 M 60 2013-10-13 02:08:03 proxmox 2 M 64 2013-10-13 02:08:03 proxmox1 root@proxmox:/# pvecm delnode proxmox1 Node has disappeared from the...

    Revert cluster to single node/machine

    Having put a 2 node cluster together as an experiment I was trying to figure out if there is a 'graceful' way to revert to a single machine setup ? I guess I could set pvecm expected 1 And then remove the other node, but I don't think that puts me back to 'single machine' status. Is there...

    Recreate config file

    I was messing about earlier today and managed to delete a config file for a KVM. I have managed to manually recreate it and can run the machine. The one thing I wasn't sure about is the disk size that I originally used. I know it was around 100Gb but it could been more or less than that. Any...

    Network configuration with two NICs

    Ah, think I've got it now. Having boxes to fill in for the IP address etc fooled me. Just added vmbr1 with bridge port as eth1 and left the other boxes blank. Think that should fix it. Will see what happens - can't reboot til later. B. Rgds John

    Network configuration with two NICs

    Hmmm. Thanks for the reply but I'm a bit lost. As I mentioned, if I want to use both vbr0/eth0 and vbr1/eth1 I need to assign a separate IP address and gateway to vbr1 to link it to eth1 but I then have to use another gateway I which I don't have.... I only have one gateway IP address (no fancy...

    Network configuration with two NICs

    Hi, I just wondered if someone could give me some general networking advice. Currently have 3.1 installed on a HP server with 2 network cards. On this machine I intend to run 2 VMs. I would like the 'main' VM to have exclusive use of one network card (e.g. vmbr1/eth1) and leave the other...

    Local folder or IDE drive pass through

    OK, I can mount the drive if I pass through the whole drive, but not if it is already activated as a LVM on the host. ide0: /dev/main/root kvm: -drive file=/dev/main/root/,if=none,id=drive-ide0,aio=native,cache=none: could not open disk image /dev/main/root/: Not a directory Failed exit code...

    Hahahahahahahaha. Glad I'm not the only one who makes mistakes like that :-) Will go back and try again ! B. Rgds John

    Local folder or IDE drive pass through

    Ok, I tried both methods but the guest fails to see the drive. I tried both : ide4: /dev/sda ide4: /dev/main/root Log reports : vm 100 - unable to parse value of 'ide4' - unknown setting 'ide4' So Proxmox doesn't like the line and doesn't pass it to the guest. When I have the LVM active...

    Excellent and thanks again - I'll try both methods and report back. B. Rgds John

    Local folder or IDE drive pass through

    Yup, that's the size of it. I use SME server. I want to effectively restore the data & settings directly from the disk. I could mount it via NFS as per the suggestion above but I'd rather use the tools to hand rather than installing more stuff. Thanks I'll give that a whirl. I presume that is...
